The Tang Dynasty's Slave Trader

Even innocent children should be killed.

After reading the comments from several readers, I have a general idea of ​​the points of contention that many people are concerned about. I plan to explain some issues, but for others, I can only give a brief overview to avoid spoilers. First, regarding the issue of "simps," how should I put it? I understand the opinions of many readers now. In ancient times, men were superior to women.

This human trafficker is constantly swindling and cheating, always copying this and that. You're really something else!

Let me reiterate. It's unwatchable. After the protagonist gets drunk, he talks to that foreign woman about things from the future. It was originally very good, but once this woman came up, it became disappointing. There were so many plot holes. Sigh. It has some content but not much. It's got some polish, but not enough polish.

According to the "Theft and Robbery" section of the Tang Code, the ringleader of those who abducted and sold people into slavery was sentenced to death by hanging, while accomplices were exiled 3,000 li (approximately 1,500 kilometers).

In my view, in ancient times, one had to either keep a low profile or, if one was high-profile, rebel; otherwise, there would be endless strife.

Regardless of whether it's a saintly novel or not, with all that classical Chinese, are you trying to teach readers classical Chinese? This is just a lighthearted novel for entertainment; don't think it's anything highbrow. Using standard Mandarin and being easy to understand is the right approach.

Cao Cao can retreat now; the protagonist is of high moral character.

I glanced at it, and if the author hadn't mentioned the protagonist was a police officer, I would have thought he was some naive and clueless character. He doesn't even know basic common sense. Is cooking simple? Not at all! Even in modern times, making signature dishes is a lucrative business, let alone in ancient times.
